Garden Wall Cladding Installation

During the summer of 2017, Babb Services were contracted to carry out the installation of timber cladding to an exterior garden wall. This project was required by John, a Henlade resident, to improve the wall’s appearance and to create a feature which could be viewed as the centre piece of his garden.

How we carried out the cladding installation

Great care was taken to ensure John’s pristine garden was not tarnished during the work carried out. A series of scaffold planks were laid down to form walkways, allowing access around the garden without having to step directly onto the lawn. Sheets were also laid to contain any debris such as saw dust, timber off cuts, and rubble.

The first stage of the project was to place framework directly onto the existing wall, which the kiln-dried timber cladding could be attached to. This required great attention to detail, due to the wall having protruding features such as uneven areas, and a step at the far-left hand side. This use of framework allowed the timber cladding to be attached evenly around these difficult areas.

Another feature was the use of reinforced areas of timber along the wall, which would allow hanging baskets to be added securely at a later date. Once the cladding was installed, lengths of anti-slip decking were added to the top of the wall to further enhance the aesthetic appearance, and provide a seating area.

The final stage of this project involved coating the cladding with wood preservative to improve the end finish and provide protection against harsh weather. A strip of gravel was also added to the area where the lawn met wall, to ensure these two elements of the garden blended seamlessly.

Since the project’s completion, John has remained very happy with the work Babb Services carried out:

“We absolutely love the new timber cladding Babb Services installed to our wall. Dave did a great job, and this feature has really transformed the look of our garden. Still looks great one year on”.
